Broken Mounts

When this happens, the first thing to go is MAF hose disconnecting from the throttle body port. The engine will stall once you let go of the thin pedal.
Fortunately for me, I had the left-side motor mount chain-wrapped before the trail run.

Welcome to the club. Do yourself a favor and go with an aftermarket mount for the engine and good, OE-style mounts in the back. A strong aftermarket engine mount should keep the rear ones from tearing.
Two aftermarket mounts I know of are the QT (http://www.lucky8llc.com/Products.aspx?ProductID=2115) and ones from MIT (http://www.mitautomotive.com/offroad.aspx Will need to call as they're not listed in their online store).

Get the qt's and be done with it. Last summer I was riding along with a buddy at an offroad event setup by a local club at a farm near Taylorsville and all 4 of his mounts went. Same type of weather as we are having now.

I went through several sets of Allmakes mounts. IMO they're junk for any rig which sees anything more than a paved road. Finally got the QTs (didn't know about the MIT's or I would have inquired) and am done with torn motor mounts.
Now, for fair warning, you will feel more vibration (for lack of a better word) in the vehicle since the QT mounts have very little (if really any) absorption ability. But the tradeoff is that they sure as hell won't fail.

The OE mounts are complete crap. Not just from a design standpoint, but from a quality one as well. Looks like someone made a mold in their kitchen and took some used bolts from a tin in the garage.
